  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/PICKCART002 - You are not authorized to process WO &1; contact system admin ?

    The SAP error message /SCWM/PICKCART002 indicates that a user is not authorized to process a specific Work Order (WO) in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system. This error typically arises when a user attempts to perform an action that requires specific authorizations that they do not possess.

    Cause:

    1. Authorization Issues: The user does not have the necessary authorizations assigned to their user profile to process the specified Work Order.
    2. Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the actions they are trying to perform.
    3. Work Order Status: The Work Order may be in a status that is restricted for certain users based on their roles.

    Solution:

    1. Check User Authorizations:

      • The user should contact their system administrator to verify their authorization profile.
      • The administrator can use transaction code SU53 to analyze the authorization check after the error occurs. This will show which authorization object failed.
    2. Review Role Assignments:

      • The system administrator should review the roles assigned to the user and ensure that the necessary authorizations for processing Work Orders are included.
      • If the user needs additional permissions, the administrator can modify the roles or create a new role with the required authorizations.
    3. Work Order Status:

      • Ensure that the Work Order is in a status that allows processing. If the Work Order is locked or in a status that prohibits processing, the user may need to wait or have the status changed by an authorized user.
    4. Testing:

      • After adjustments are made, the user should attempt to process the Work Order again to confirm that the issue is resolved.

    Related Information:

    • Authorization Objects: Common authorization objects related to EWM and Work Orders include S_WFAR_EWM (for EWM activities) and S_TCODE (for transaction codes).
    • Transaction Codes:
      • SU01 - User Maintenance: To check and modify user roles.
      • PFCG - Role Maintenance: To manage roles and authorizations.
      • SU53 - Display Authorization Check: To analyze authorization failures.
    • Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on authorization management in EWM.

    If the issue persists after checking the above points, it may be necessary to consult SAP support or refer to the specific configuration settings in your SAP system.
